Charlotte in Sleep Mode

The Albany Times Union reminds us that one of the Kindle screensavers is the Evert A. Duyckinick 1873 portrait of Charlotte Brontë based on the George Richmond's:

I like that when it's not in use -- sleep mode -- various images appear on the screen. There are old prints from fish and bird books, portraits of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, Agatha Christie and Emily Dickinson (although not a very flattering image). (Donna Liquori)

It seems that contemplation of the Wisconsin River in winter causes contradictory feelings. In the Warsau Daily Herald:

She pointed to the black forms bobbing ever so slightly in the distance.
"It's just great," she said. "It makes me want to read 'Wuthering Heights.'"
I did take a second look at the sky, and the trees and geese. And she was right. It really was beautiful in a looming sort of way, the kind of scene that requires a heavy orchestral score. It was dramatic, exciting.
But I did not feel the slightest urge to read "Wuthering Heights." (Keith Uhlig)

In The Sunday Times Houses of the Week section there is a Wuthering Heights mention:

Co Clare €950,000 Cherry House on Woodcock Hill, near Cratloe, could have come from the pages of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.

Associated Content lists possible chick flicks for next year and Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre is included (a film that  midnatt till sju, in Swedish, awaits eagerly); Iris on Books posts about Wuthering Heights; The Powell Blog reviews Jane Eyre 1997; Amor, Mistério e Sangue English Version reviews April Lindner's Jane and ScribbleManiac shares some additional pictures of the North Lees Hall outbuildings.
